Of course one of the best ways to begin taming an aggressive adult do is to begin socializing them when they are puppies. It is much easier to begin exposing them to other animals and people at a young age. However many adult dogs never become socialized until they are full grown.

If your dog has never been socialized with other dogs or people then it is important that you get a leash that will hold them and do not remove the leash until you are certain that they are not going to display any signs of aggression.

If you do not feel confident or comfortable training your own dog; then you should hire a pet trainer who can show you how to handle your dog. Never try to take your dog out in an are with people or other animals if you do not feel that you can handle their behavior.

    Hey there,

    My name is Aoife and I’m living in the republic of Ireland and i need some advice!! Me and my partner recently moved into a new house and we wanted to get a dog. We went to an animal sanctuary and fell in love with an adorable staffie and seeing as i had a staffie cross for 16 years without any problems, we decided to take him because we didn’t want anyone to take him and use him for fighting as he was so placid! Anyway, he’s a total pet around people, very playfull, very loyal and very friendly, everyone just loves him but the problem is that he was already 3 when we got him and we don’t really “know” him. We have him about 6weeks and in the space of those two weeks he has made attacks on two dogs. The first dog was some sort of terrier ( making him a lot smaller) and from the moment that dog met Buster (our dogs name) did not like him, he acted very aggresive towards him and seemed very uncomfortable but he was restrained. Unfortunalty, a while later we made a misjudgment and let him off the lead to run around and play ( which he loves) and then he spotted this same dog and darted off after him, picking him up and locking his jaw. It took two grown men to pry him off the small dog and it was obvious the extent of the injuries. Luckily we got away with a warning from the gardai and were told his breed MUST be muzzled after the dangerous dog list was brought into Ireland in 1991. We got him a muzzle and everything was fine but the other day we had a BBQ at the front of our house and he sat out all day with us in the sun playing with the neighbours dog and my mothers dog (who are both small bitches) and there was not a bother on him. He is incredibly social around people and to be honest, i just loved having him outside with us all day. He was out for about 6hours with us and then suddenly we had ours back turned for two mins and he was off the road, around the corner and had attacked a puppy of a neighbour. Thankfully his jaw did not lock and there was no obvious injuries or blood that we could see on the pup but then later we were told that the pup may have to be put down. We havn’t heard anything since but that is a very horrible thought to imagine our dog causing another family so much pain if the dog was put down.
    We had him neutered after the first attack as we were told that would help but i’m not sure if it has.
    The main reason i am writing to you is because in september we are expecting a baby girl and obviously her safety is the most important thing to us. We have become SO attached to the dog and we REALLY love him and really really don’t want to give him back. He is part of the family at this stage and like i said, he is terrific around people and children so far that we’ve seen. Obviously if it came to him or the baby we would give him back but is there any advice you can give us?? Would we be mad to keep him with a baby on the way or is there an alternative for people in our position that you could suggest? What about obedience classes? Like i said, he has given us no reason to think he would be a threat to the baby as he is great with people but would he see the baby as a person? We have read on numerous occasions that staffs are great with children but the we havn’t had him his whole life so does that leave us with no option. It also says that staffs DO NOT like other dogs so is that normal what he did? Isn’t that what dogs do? Was it just our neglegence of the laws that caused the fights or do you think it’s an aggresive streak in him?

    If there was anything at all you could suggest for us to do or any advice you could give us i would be so gratfull. I’d hate to give him up but if I had to for the sake of my little girl then i would of course. I can’t do it without some advice though as i do not want to give up on him yet.

    Please write back when ever you get a chance,
    Thanks!
    Aoife
